Brad Freeburn, chief of the Montgomery Fire Department, said the resident on the property said he was repairing a mower when he saw fire in the trailer, which sits near the road in†a junk filled-yard located just west of the Hillsdale-Branch county line.

Firemen from Montgomery were assisted by Camden and Fremont (Ind.) fire departments in keeping the flames from spreading and in putting out the blaze using water and foam.

Water had to be ferried to the site from Montgomery. The temperatures in the 70s affected those working on the fire.

Firefighters were on the scene for two hours to put out hot spots. Representatives from LifeCare and the Branch County Sheriff's Office assisted at the scene.
